Abstract: 

Pollen grains are Microscopic Structures that carry the Male Reproductive cell of plants. The inner part of the grain contains cytoplasm along with the tube cell and the generative cell and the outer shell is made of two layers. The pollen grains are produced during sexual reproduction within the anther of flower and its male gametophyte of the plant. The mass of pollen grains is called Pollinia. The structural morphology of the pollen grains carried out with alight microscope is reported characters measured on the pollen grains were pollen grain shape, size position, orientation of pollinia, translator attachment ,furrow position are important criterion for the studies of Pollinial Morphology. This study analyzed the pollinial morphology of some selected medicinal plants taxa like Ocimum sanctum (L), Calotropis gigantean (L), emblica officinalis(L) are collected from different plants of surrounding areas of Siddipet inTelangana.
